The Creek is one band that can claim to have been playing the Webster for more than a decade. The band used to rent the former neighborhood movie theater before it reopened as a full-time rock club in the '90s.

The longtime lineup, which includes John Rider, Scott Murawski, Mark Mercier, Rob Fried and Scott Allshouse, has been around long enough to influence dozens of other bands, including Phish, to mention one.

They're calling this weekend's all-ages shindig at the Webster ``2001: A Creek Oddity.'' In anticipation of the new year, Monday is the deadline for a 30th-anniversary logo design contest the band is throwing.

Tickets are $17.50 in advance for Saturday's show ($20 at the door) and $25 in advance for Sunday's show ($30 at the door). Tickets for both nights are $32.50 in advance. Doors open at 8 p.m. each night.
